I'm trying to fix some accessibility errors in a new wordpress site by fixing alt tags. I created a new js file called "fixes.js" and included the following:
$('body img').each(function() {
if ( ! $(this).attr('alt'))
$(this).attr('alt', '');
});
$('body img').each(function() {
if ( ! $(this).attr('alt', 'Blog Image'))
$(this).attr('alt', '');
});
I can see the file is being loaded into the page, but it's not doing it's job, as you can see here:
Any ideas what the issue is?
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
// Find images without an alt attribute and add a blank alt attribute
$('body img:not([alt])').attr('alt', '');
// Find images with alt attribute equal to "Blog Image" and replace with a blank alt attribute
$('body img[alt="Blog Image"]').attr('alt', '');
});
</script>
